Job 35:4

4 itaque ego respondebo sermonibus tuis et amicis tuis tecum

Job 35:4 Meaning and Commentary

Job 35:4

I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
] Meaning not his three friends, as the Septuagint version expresses it; for they were not on the side of Job, and of the same sentiment with him, but rather on the side of Elihu; especially Eliphaz, who expresses much the same sentiment he does, ( Job 22:2 Job 22:3 ) ; but all that were of the same mind with Job, whether present or absent, or in whatsoever part of the world; the answer he should return to him would serve for them all, and sufficiently confute such a bad notion of God, let it be embraced by whomsoever.

Job 35:4 In-Context

2 numquid aequa tibi videtur tua cogitatio ut diceres iustior Deo sum

3 dixisti enim non tibi placet quod rectum est vel quid tibi proderit si ego peccavero

4 itaque ego respondebo sermonibus tuis et amicis tuis tecum

5 suspice caelum et intuere et contemplare aethera quod altior te sit

6 si peccaveris quid ei nocebis et si multiplicatae fuerint iniquitates tuae quid facies contra eum
